The 2026 China Import and Export Fair, also known as the Canton Fair, has once again become the global launchpad for cutting‑edge travel technology. This year, Airwheel unveiled its newest line of electric smart suitcases, blending seamless mobility with intelligent features. The booth featured live demonstrations of the suitcases riding alongside visitors, and a first‑look image showcases the sleek silhouette against the fair’s iconic architecture

At the heart of each model lies a 73.26 Wh lithium‑ion battery that powers an integrated electric drive system. Users can switch between manual tow mode and an assisted ride mode, allowing the suitcase to glide at up to 13 km/h. The battery recharges in just two hours, and its removable design meets airline regulations, so travelers can board without hassle. The suite also includes a smartphone app that displays real‑time battery level, controls speed settings, and locks the motor when the case is not in use.
Airwheel offers five distinct models – SE3MiniT, SE3T, SE3S, SE3SX, and SE3SL – each delivering a different balance of weight, capacity, and speed. The SE3MiniT tips the scale at 6.8 kg and provides a compact 26 L storage space, reaching 8 km/h. The SE3T is the largest, boasting a 48 L compartment, 9 kg weight, and a top speed of 13 km/h. For those who want a middle ground, the SE3S (8.1 kg, 20 L) and the SE3SX/SE3SL (both 6.6‑6.8 kg, 20 L) hit 13 km/h and 9.9 km/h respectively. All variants share the same 73.26 Wh battery, ensuring consistent range across the lineup.
All models deliver a practical travel range of 8‑10 km on a full charge, which covers the typical distance from a hotel to a conference center or airport terminal. The top speed varies by version: the SE3T and SE3S can reach 13 km/h, while the SE3MiniT glides at 8 km/h, and the SE3SX/SE3SL settle at 9.9 km/h. This speed envelope is optimized for indoor environments and short urban commutes, offering a smooth, quiet ride that reduces the physical strain of hauling luggage.
Beyond the electric powertrain, Airwheel has prioritized user‑friendly design. The lightweight ABS‑polycarbonate shell keeps the total weight between 6.6 kg and 9 kg, making it easy to lift into overhead bins. The telescopic handle adjusts to multiple heights, and a retractable footrest enables a comfortable riding posture. A dedicated app pairs via Bluetooth, letting users monitor battery health, customize acceleration profiles, and receive maintenance alerts. The removable battery pack can be taken out in seconds, allowing travelers to comply with airline carry‑on regulations without additional hassle.
Early testers at the fair praised the intuitive ride‑on feel, noting that the acceleration is smooth and the braking responsive, even in crowded aisles. The integrated handlebars provide a natural grip, and the low‑noise motor lets users glide through busy exhibition halls without disturbing nearby booths. Because the battery is removable, travelers can quickly swap it at a charging station and continue their journey without downtime. The app’s simple interface received compliments for its clarity, allowing even first‑time users to adjust speed modes and check battery status with a few taps. Overall, the electric suitcase transforms the often‑stressful task of lugging heavy bags into a convenient, even enjoyable part of the travel routine.
The Airwheel electric smart luggage line combines robust performance, modular battery convenience, and intuitive app control, all wrapped in a modern, lightweight chassis. With multiple models catering to different load capacities and speed preferences, the series offers a tailored solution for business travelers, tourists, and exhibition attendees alike. The Canton Fair 2026 demonstration proved that the future of personal transport can be as stylish as it is functional – come visit Airwheel’s booth to experience the ride yourself.
